That's not just moving actions though, that's moving _everything_ and taking on the maintenance of running it yourself.

And for the applications it not adequate for, a different cable should be used. But instead I have a drawer full of USB c cables and no idea which ones are which.

They’ve said that, but it doesn’t add up. The outages started shortly after the migration to Azure became the top priority, and before the load massively increased form agentic coding (by their own dates).

I found that reflection/meditation before bed didn’t work for me. I do my reflection/journalling as part of my “stimulating” activities so that my mind has an hour or so to process what I’ve been doing.

I did a CBT course on it, the steps were very roughly to stay up until I got tired and then get up at my target time. IIRC that was stay up till 4 and get up at 7:30. That pretty quickly made me realise that I was _definitely_ getting way m

I won’t claim to have any qualifications but generally the more I look after myself the better I sleep. The better I sleep the more I can look after myself.

That's a better approach than what I did, and I'll use that going forwards.

What was the outcome of the report to HR? I think if you work somewhere that this is the result, you're unlikely to have much progress challenging anything directly. In order to actually have change you need to be able to challenge and

I’ve always struggled with sleep. A few things that helped me (in order of importance) - go to bed and get up at the same time every day. Getting up is more important than going to bed. - no phone in bed, and limit stimulating activities (i

Anecdotally, there are no engineers who I considered “great engineers” before who are now just posting slop. The great engineers are still great engineers - and I don’t know (or care) if they’re LLM assisted.

Yeah that’s exactly the person I’m talking about.

But that’s not what happens - people are posting the question into Claude and pasting back saying “here’s what Claude said”. There’s 0 value add in that - I don’t know if you agree, disagree or have even read it. My experience is that most

At my last job, a coworker did this to me. The first time it happened, I ignored it. The second time, I responded in public saying “thanks but I can ask Claude myself.” Nobody ever pasted me an LLM response again. YMMV with team size and se

In fairness to people, yelp and google, if there’s only two places to eat in a town there’s only two places to eat. The local people are likely friends with the people who run the places and their social hubs. Personally if my mate opened a

I have an unfair suspicion that the people who make yelp great in the US are the same that make it suck in Europe!

I’ve found it’s very city dependent. My experience in the US was yelp was miles ahead, but where I live (Edinburgh) it’s pretty much useless.

That's pretty mental. Those Xeon E5's are 50w at idle, plus 10w for the 10Gb Ethernet, before you add any storage. A core 3 N300 is 1/10 of the power usage, for ~85% of the performance. Integrity at the filesystem level is re

I've lived in my current home for 5 years with LED lighting, and we have hardly changed any lightbulbs in the house. I've got no idea how old those bulbs are. I lived in my previous place for 7 years and changed a handful of bulbs

Yes. I work in games and we heavily rely on manual QA. Too heavily, really.

The FIA aren’t as bad (although I might be biased as an F1 fan). They’re certainly really really terrible at optics but at least everyone involved in that is making money out of it and aren’t under the illusion that they’re doing it for t

It’s clear at this point that agents don’t actually follow agents.md They try to but they don’t. As an example, we use perforce in games. I regularly have to stop an agent and remind it to use p4 edit rather than blasting through the read
